As outlined below, for all of the left panels 12 a-24 a, the right panels 12 b-24 b are mirror images thereof, such that a description of any of the left panels applies to any of the right panels, and vice versa. However, it is contemplated that the non-insulated panels 11 could have different configurations. Furthermore, it is contemplated that more or less non-insulated panels 11 could be used to enlarge or shrink the size of the modular exterior building 10, respectively.

The modular exterior building 10 is configured to be shipped in a compact state with the panels 11 disconnected. The panels 11 can then be easily connected to form the modular exterior building 10. All of the illustrated panels 11 are formed from beams 26 and plates 27. FIG. 3A and 4 illustrates a pair of adjacent beams 26 that are configured to be connected together as illustrated in FIG. 3A (and illustrated as being connected together in FIG. 4), including a pin beam 26 a and a hook beam 26 b. The beams 26 can be made out of wood or any other material. For example, the beams 26 can be 2 inches by 6 inches beams of wood, 2 inches by 4 inches beams of wood, or 1.5 inches by 3.5 inches beams of wood. The beams could have other width and thickness dimensions. As illustrated in FIG. 3A and FIG. 4, the pin beam 26 a includes a hook receiving opening 28 therethrough, with a pin 29 extending across the hook receiving opening 28.
